58% of Hispanics, 73% of Blacks want Big Government

All this Amnesty talk don't mean shit for Republicans, because the majority both groups want big government to be their mommy and daddy.

The changing electorate has huge implications for public policy and politics.

Suddenly, immigration overhaul seems a lot more important, for one thing.

Ask white voters about the proper role of government, for another, and 60 percent think it should do less. Ask Hispanics the same question, and 58 percent think the government should do more, as do 73 percent of blacks, exit polls show.

You can hear it in the voice of Alicia Perez, a 31-year-old immigration attorney who voted last week at a preschool in Ysleta, Texas.

"I trust the government to take care of us," she said. "I don't trust the Republican Party to take care of people."

Sure, the election's biggest issue, the economy, affects everyone. But the voters deciding who should tackle it were quite different from the makeup of the 1992 "It's the economy, stupid" race that elected Democrat Bill Clinton as president.

Let the country burn, bring on the fiscal cliff, let all taxes expire. People need to learn the hard way, unfortunately the newest members of the country think big government is the key. America as a super power died last election.
